Bulldog Watt meter

But there was no context of any emotion of the people that simply stated that the meter was not worth the asking price which is what the OP asked. As for accuracy, it is nothing special and at least the Bird meters can be calibrated to industrial standards and actually mean something. I have yet to see a communications company be it broadcast or otherwise use a Bull Dog meter over a Bird. Must be a reason.
So, this must be the same meter that allows you to get 1250 watts out of a 1x4 right?
Just so we know what we are talking about here.

The Bird and its reputation is all too well known. No one said the Bulldog is a bad meter. It is just unknown compared to the Bird. If you like the Bulldog - no one is attacking that. No one even attacked the Bulldog; they just said it was over priced in the eBay ad - and you also agreed.
There is no reason to take it personal - unless you have more invested in the Bulldog than meets the eye here. So - you know the guy who built them too. Or is it more than that? A family member maybe? In business with him? Trying to protect that interest? A dose of honesty at this point would go a long way - IMO. Credibility is slipping away here.
The last post before your last post is a guy who works in the broadcast industry presently and for many years too. If he said that no one uses a Bulldog in the industry; I would be inclined to believe him. He can be considered an expert in that field.

Yes, that's 3100 degrees F. Nine yrs of hard work.
I had one! Sold it. I paid $250 for it brand new with the remote.
Replaced it with a Palstar, me like the Palstar lots better.

The Palstar is very nice, also has a remote coupler , and a active peak reading circuit.
Works good in the mobile, small compact, and I like to be able to read forward and reflect at the same time.

i asked about this bulldog meter cause i saw one for sale almost mint at a swap meet and the person wanted $50.00 for it and i said no. ( i fucked up ) should of bought it.
im not buying that meter off eBay because i can get a Bird for half the price that guy on eBay is asking for his high glory bulldog watt meter.
aren't Birds military spec / made anyways? i see it as this, if the United States Military uses something it must be good right? or we would be scum like the Haji's in the asshole of the earth ( the middle east ). no offense to those from the West Nile.....
